For those of you who have been following Sheriff’s journey with us, despite how adorable & sweet he is, he has yet to find his perfect forever home. Sheriff is 11 years young, 44 lbs., neutered, and up-to-date on all his vet care needs. His current foster family describes him as an incredibly docile and affectionate “fluffy love bug.” He loves being around his humans and observing everything happening around the house, often finding a comfortable spot to simply watch. His only imperfection is his allergies, which require some extra love and patience.
Unlike most Shiba Inus who dislike baths and nail trims, Sheriff is a true exception! When he hears the bath water, he eagerly climbs into the tub and stands still, thoroughly enjoying the rubs. For nail trims, he’ll calmly lie still, allowing you to get the job done while he enjoys holding your hand.
Sheriff is a big fan of playing fetch! He’ll bring you his ball and gently place his paw on you as if to say, “Hey, it’s play time!” Whether it’s a short toss indoors or a long throw in the backyard, he’ll always bring it back, hoping you’ll throw it again. When he’s not playing fetch, he loves his stuffed toys, especially his shark and lamb.
He would thrive best in a home without a lot of chaos, as it can heighten his anxiety. He is currently being fostered with two other Shibas. Unfortunately, the two-year-old Shiba’s constant desire to play, run, and jump around elevates Sheriff’s anxiety. However, he gets along well with the other, more relaxed Shiba, allowing them both to go their own way. None of his fosters have reported any destructive or negative behaviors. When he feels anxious, he may whimper, cry, or bark.
Despite Sheriff’s past, he is an incredibly trusting and happy Shiba. He has so much love to give and will joyfully soak up all the love his human has to offer in return.
